So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to come up with the definitive ranking of all of the main/most popular Friday Night Lights men. Sure, we have our favorites, but we tried to be as objective as possible by using a points system based on desirable personality traits.

All of the personality traits add points to the characters’ scores (except for “stupidity,” which subtracts points). Each character’s personality traits are rated on a scale from 0-5, with their final ranking depending on their overall personality trait score.

9. Billy Riggins

Billy may not ever achieve main character status, but he’s been a constant throughout the series (both in presence and personality). While he may not be the smartest and none of his ideas really ever works out, we still love Billy Riggins.

8. Brian ‘Smash’ Williams

While he can be kind of (totally) pompous and selfish, Smash definitely has his moments (especially when it comes to protecting and providing for his family). Smash has big dreams and the personality to get himself there.

7. Jason Street

Jason Street is quite the underdog, so obviously we can’t help but root for him (even when he’s moody or trying to make a stupid decision involving shark blood). He’s just such a go-getter, even in the face of extreme adversity.

6. Luke Cafferty

While he may not be a traditional alpha male, Luke Cafferty is quite the leader and role model. He’s incredibly kind and compassionate, not to mention friendly. It also doesn’t help that he has a cute face. Man, we really miss Luke Cafferty.

5. Vince Howard

Sure, he may be a little rough around the edges, but Vince Howard has one of the biggest hearts of all of the Friday Night Lights men (if not all of the characters period). There’s nothing Vince wouldn’t do for the people he loves.

4. Landry Clark

Landy Clark is just an all-around great guy. He’s smart, caring, and hilarious (not to mention musically inclined). While we hate seeing other characters take advantage of his kindness, we love that, over the seasons, he doesn’t change a bit.

3. Tim Riggins

Tim Riggins is the heart of Friday Night Lights. Though he may have a tough exterior (and quite the alcohol tolerance), he’s such a vulnerable and lovable character. It’s impossible not to root for him. He’s one of the best parts of the show.

Dependability ????
Attractiveness ?????
Athleticism ?????
Intelligence ??? — He may not be book smart, but he knows his way around football, cars, and people.
Loyalty ????
Fun-Ness ?????
Compassion ????
Vulnerability ????
Lovability ????? – We’d give Tim Riggins more footballs if we could. And lots of hugs.
Stupidity -???Overall score: 35/45

2. Matt Saracen

Matt Saracen is the equivalent of a puppy dog. He’s constantly looking to please and comfort those around him. He’s a hard worker who juggles quite a lot. We couldn’t help but love Matt from day one and root for him at every turn. Our lives aren’t the same without him.

1. Coach Eric Taylor

Who else could be #1 but Coach Taylor? He’s pretty tough on his players and can sometimes react pretty badly to situations (like finding Tim Riggins putting Julie to bed), but Coach Taylor’s heart is always in the right place. He’s always willing to go the extra mile for the people in his life. He’s a true gentleman.

This may or may not be an interview.

A kindly old wizard he is no more.

The new Wizarding World logo is being billed as a way to reflect what’s going on in the franchise over the next few years, but it also reveals that J.K. Rowling is finally allowing others to dive into her creation.

It was announced today that, after a competitive auction, publishers Little, Brown has acquired a novelization of the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen and will be releasing the young adult title this fall.
